In 1980, the NSF granted the Byrne administration $33,000 for a project to identify how science and technology could be used to increase the executive branch policy formulation and decision making. This series documents the transition of management of the grant from the Byrne to the Kean administration

The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs was created to act as a liaison between the Kean Administration and county and municipal officials. This series includes correspondence between staff and local authorities regarding various issues as well as samples of congratulatory letters from the Governor to New Jersey legislators. While most are requests and inquiries for assistance, folders on an Atlantic City High School project and the Harding Highway Interceptor (sewage project; the first Pinelands Infrastructure Trust Project) do provide some substantive information. There is no correspondence regarding Warren County or any of its municipalities.
